I sware I just DIED, then came back to life!!!! I am scared about injecting now!!!!

[shoichi]

If you hit a vein though, wouldn't blood fill the syringe when you aspirate?

I think I hit that sciatic nerve. That hurt like a MUTHA F*CKER.

lol this reminds me of the time i was injecting into my friends quad. I was about halfway in and all of a sudden his whole quad spazed and he jerked and sarted yelling. That was some funny shit. I couldn't even continue giving him the shot because i was laughing my ass off while he was sitting their screaming. Funny shit

Ahh reminds me when you had Luvs as your handle. I wish George would reinstate that name for you.

could of i died? has anyone ever been knocked out cold after taking a shot before?

Yes you could have died if you injected an oil based solution into a vein. All you need is a few quick flicks on the base of the plunger, if you pull back to much you may collapse the thin wall of the needle especially 23 gauge and higher and you will not see any blood enter the syringe. BTW what type of gear did you use?

this is a reason why we didn't get along

"collapse the thin wall of the needle" from pulling back too far? Is that what you meant to say? If that's true I sure didn't know that was possible.

no, he meant collapse the vein due to the large negative pressure if you pull back hard on small guage syringe. buffdoc has posted about this before.

 

[cyp]

What happens to your gear if you hit a vein? Will your body still make use of it, or is it wasted?

LOL! That's the spirit! You know that you are hardcore if your first thought after a near death experience is whether you just wasted 2cc of gear.

Yep my fault, I was probably typing faster than I could think......lol

Here's the answer to your question.
2 things can happen:
1) The thin-walled vein collapses onto the needle tip from the negative pressure your aspiration creates. Imagine sucking forcefully through a very flimsy straw or other tube: it collapses from the suction, or negative pressure. Especially with smaller needles, 23 and up, the negative pressure can be very high (it's enough to bring dissolved gas out of liquid solution, which accounts for the bubbles you see when aspirating, but I'm digressing). When the vein collapses around the needle tip, it occurs instantaneously; there's no TIME for any blood to get in the needle (for SC-NTO)
2) The bevel of the needle (the oblong hole) can be up against the wall of the vein; in this case, the needle simply grabs the tissue of the vein wall by suction, and no blood gets in to flash in the barrel of the syringe.
Hope that's helpful.

It's easy to aspirate and inject one-handed in glutes and delts, aspirate with thumb nail. A little flick is all you need, if you aspirate TOO hard, the negative pressure you create can collapse the thin-walled vein around the needle tip, and no blood comes back, you inject IV.
I don't do it with B-12, HCG, stuff like that, but with oil-based gear?! Crazy not to. A big, viscous oil emolism has the potential to kill you. It takes about 5 seconds for that stuff to hit the pulmonary artery. Be careful, it only takes one out of
